Reflection of WINDTHROW

05.09.2022 

Overall, I was very happy and pleased with how my show went. For my first time singing solo to an audience, I was proud of overcoming that new step in performance. 

​

Apart from one premature spotlight in the beginning of the piece, there were no other mishaps thankfully. I was happy with my movement, voice, pace and delivery of lines. However, in my end text section - that is accompanied by music - according to my parents, it was difficult to hear what I was saying. This may be something I have to look at for next time. 

​

As this was the first time performing WINDTHROW to a proper audience, I felt more invested in the narratives than ever before. I felt that I was more rigorous in times of strong movements, more at peace in times of quietness and more free in times of escape. Performing with the sound and lighting, I felt supported and guided through the different episodes of my performance. The flashes on my movements worked effectively in accenting my jumps and tricks.

​

Funnily, I was met with laughter from the audience in my 'Construction of a pasty' sequence which helped get me through the wordy nature of it. This was a nice surprise for me as I had no comedic intent with this text. 

​

Lastly, my finale dance was a special moment for me. The freeing from the work gear in the new found space in the stage, accompanied by the storm sounds, felt like I was being washed of the harsh movements previously performed. This ending felt amazing for me and brought an emotional response from the audience as well. 

 

I loved to be able to share text, dance, movement and singing in the same space and I hope to do it again soon.
